The Port of Virginia successfully adopted NCOS ONLINE, a revolutionary science-based digital port management system, to support berth scheduling and mooring operations across its container terminals. The system was immediately put to the test when Hurricane Isaias hit the east coast of US in early August of 2020. Using NCOS ONLINE, the Port’s engineering department avoided US$0.5 million in costs, improved labour and resource planning, and reopened its terminals quicker after the storm passed.
